I have a theory. MS has an internal AI product called Response. It proudly crafts answer-free messages for any question.
I sure do wish they would just say "DEI isn't profitable anymore. Number must go up", though. Saves me a bit of brainpower.
It appears every time a large company opens in a country outside of say the top 10% by GDP it ends up being a failure though it takes forever to happen because nobody wants to take the blame for their implementation blunder. Seen too many executives in the past continue to say how much it is a success and then it comes to light how much of an issue it caused.
Seems to be the story of every company that opens up purely for cost savings.
Not surprised Microsoft packs their bags moving from a very volatile economy.
As a Nigerian, I’m willing to bet Microsoft was repeatedly asked for bribes just to carry out mundane functions. It’s not worth it to invest in a country without rule of law.
